[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If having a football field or football stadium is the determinant for having VHSL, it’s going to be a lot longer than a couple of years. Where are they even going to put a football field or stadium? Take some land from Carson? They do have a nice soccer field with a track around it but I don’t see how that can be shared by so many different sports. [b]I think about other high schools where there is a football stadium plus a football practice field that other field sports will use, plus another field or two in many cases.[/b] I would be curious to hear the plans for the land around Carson and Skyview. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but it seems like it will be a slow process.[/quote]

Ever been to Chantilly?  There have been teams practicing off site for decades.  [/quote]

But they do have a football field and stadium. So I assume it's other teams practicing off site? Right now Skyview only has a soccer field which doesn't seem like it could be converted to a football field/stadium.. not a ton of space around it. So then where does football go? It seems easier for the non-football sports to practice elsewhere, but football needs a stadium. Unless they just don't build a stadium, make the soccer field a hybrid soccer/other sports/practice football field (if that's possible with the current dimensions) and Skyview has games somewhere else? And then they would still need another field or two for other sports to practice. I would be curious to hear their thoughts/plans on all this.[/quote]
Soccer and football share the same field at most high schools.  The field they have is perfectly suitable for football practice.  They'll need more stands for games, but they can play their "home" games at a different stadium until theirs is ready.[/quote]
